Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

I was intrigued by the solution the owner of this truck used to keep from drilling an access hole in his wood bed or his bad ass sheet metal for his fuel filler.

Wonder what you all will have to say about it.

The Truck is showing at the Sacramento AutoRama...... Unfortunately its only one space behind mine :lol:

This is the truck itself. And if someone will be kind enough to tell me how to post more then one pic at a time I will stop posting so many replies..... I am on an iPad and using the "manage attachment" function but cannot upload multiple. So don't yell at me.:waah:

Wow didn't know that Autoroma was this weekend...guess I know what I'm doing Saturday....where's the pics of yours and which building you in?

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

Here is a pic. And it is in Building A. They told me there are over 600 rigs this year, nice to see a big turn out. I saw a lot of nice old chevys but no other 4X4's.

Can't help with the pictures but for a custom truck yea that is how I would do it are either some kind of hiden inlet.

Nice 4x4 by the way. Good luck and have fun with it.;):chevy:

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

Thanks for the pic, your truck looks great. I'll come check out the show on Saturday.

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

Looks good it's def a full blown custon, I'd rather see trucks like yours all day long. Good luck!!!

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

I agree with you and Thank You. I took pictures of most of the other chevy trucks there. Good to have if I ever have another built it will be a nice 2WD and pre 72 I am torn between what body style because I love them all....

This was my favorite yesterday....

And this is a very close second....

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

Considering that the tailgate doesn't go down... that looks like a pain in the ass unless that bed floor raises up a lot more. You're average bed floor fill would have been much easier to use, but that truck probably only needs a tank or two a year anyway.

And... fricken' gorgeous truck! I love the champagne-ish color they used.

Bdash your truck was on channel 3 news this morning. ...

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

Keep those pics coming. There are some beautiful rigs there.

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

I saw that Ol Blue, pretty cool.

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

Just my 2 cents......... If you go through all the trouble of doing the body and paint, why would you want to drag the filler hose and nozzle over the gate and risk scratching it plus the chance of dripping gas on the truck

Re: Interesting Fix for Under Bed Fuel Cell Access
 

I cant speak for the truck I posted at the top of this thread, I posted it because I came up with my own opinions about that set up. its a beautiful truck and a lot of hard work and cash went into making it what it is so I am not bashing on it at all.

In my case I will be using a lot of the gas stations paper towels at each fill up.
